I'm having trouble with some visuals not appearing when I export the report to PDF.
For the past few months I have been creating reports in Power BI and plublishing them to the Power BI Online Service. From the Power BI Online Service I export the report to a PDF, however recently I have stumbled accross an issue where specific visuals do not appear in some of the pages but do appear in other pages of the exported PDF - this is the first time I'm experiencing this problem. I encounter the same problem when I export to PDF from Power BI Desktop.
My report is set up in the following way:
The Summary Tab and the Multiple Detail Tabs share the exact same visuals that are now sometimes not appearing. I have added a few images below to help describe my problem - I had to pixelate the images as the data in sensitive.
Here is the summary tab in which the red boxes show the visuals that I am having problems with and the yellow boxes are bookmark buttons that link to a specific detail tab - Snapshot from Power BI Service.
Here is part of a detail tab where some of the same visuals do not appear - Snapshot from the exported PDF.
Here is a part of a detail tab where the visuals do appear - Snapshot from Power BI Service.
These are the things that I have already tried to do but I still get the same error where these visuals do not appear in the exported PDF:
One thing that I do notice is that these visuals take longer than the others to appear when the report is refreshed. I am assuming that as Power BI exports each tab, the specific visuals are not appearing in time before the PDF is created.
These visuals are made from measures. I have added the DAX code for one of the visuals here:

It was on the support page with an ETA of yesterday, and seems to be working when I've tested it this morning, so hopefully others will find similar.
Thanks,

I'm also facing the issue regarding exporting of visual while fetching the pdf from the report I'm getting the error that visual does not support exporting this is the dual card for which i'm getting this . Can anyone help with this
Hi Everyone,
@ab5811 Yes most of my visuals are fine apart from this specific custom visual. I have had this issue since yesterday.
@rajulshah Yes the problem is occuring with a custom visual used for KPIs - this is the one I'm having problems with:

@mpwilliamson I do hope its a bug as the only workaround I have had is to export each tab seperately on their own from Power BI Desktop.
Hello @KyrinMistry ,
Yes, some of the custom visuals work like that. It's the issue of the custom visuals only.
Hi @rajulshah is this something that you think Power BI will fix soon? These custom visuals were appearing perfectly fine in exported PDFs last week.
I am sorry @KyrinMistry , I don't know whether Power BI will fix it sooner or later.
Are Microsoft aware of the problem or does it need to be logged?
It was on the support page with an ETA of yesterday, and seems to be working when I've tested it this morning, so hopefully others will find similar.
Thanks,

Just tried it and its now working successfully. Thanks for the update Mark.
Yes I've just tried it now and its working properly.
Hi everyone,
I'm seeing similar with reports for various clients using certified custom visuals which were working until today, and now just export as blank space on the report when exporting to PPT/PDF from Power BI service. It looks like a bug to me, hopefully can be quickly sorted.

I'm having the same issue.
Some visuals are fine but others have no output at all. This has only happened overnight
The same issue is occurring when exporting to powerpoint as well.
